[Chorus]
Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think I'm gonna cry
Bye bye love
Bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness
I know I'm gonna die
Goodbye my love bye bye

[Verse 1]
There goes our lady with a "you know who"
I hope she's happy and "old 'Clapper' too
We had good rhythm (and a little slide)
Then she stepped in
Did me a favour, I threw them both out

[Chorus]
Goodbye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think I'm gonna cry
Bye bye my love bye bye
Bye bye love
It's gonna be a raining out of doors
Hello happiness
Goodbye my love goodbye

[Verse 3]
Now I'm into romance
I shy away from love
Got tired of ladies that plot and shove me
And that's the reason
We all can see so clearly
They see that our lady is out on a spree

[Chorus]
Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think I'm gonna, think I'm gonna cry
Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello emptiness
I think I'm gonna cry
Goodbye my love, goodbye
Goodbye my lovers, goodbye
Goodbye my love

If George Harrison were merely remembered for his involvement in The Beatles, his legacy would be solidified as one of rock’s greatest names. Along with staging the world’s first benefit concert where major artists performed together for humanitarian relief, introducing pop culture to classical Indian music and gaining three #1 singles as a solo artist, he was also a film producer and an avid gardener.

In 1957, he met a young Paul McCartney on a bus they both took to school. McCartney then introduced him to John Lennon to audition for his skiffle group, the Quarrymen. Lennon originally rejected Harrison as he thought he was too young to be the band, having just turned 15. Harrison eventually impressed Lennon with his guitar skills and was accepted as a member of the group.

During his time with The Beatles, Harrison was the lead guitarist, one of the singers, and contributed many songs such as “Taxman,” “Within You Without You,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Here Comes the Sun” and “Something.”
